I provide personalised literacy support for children and young people from Prep to Year 10, with a special focus on students with dyslexia and literacy difficulties. My sessions are structured, engaging and designed to meet each child where they are. I help students build confidence and skills in reading, spelling, phonics and writing through explicit, evidence-based teaching. My goal is to help every student understand how they learn, experience success and develop the confidence to become a capable, independent learner.
